Not on land, apart from the castle or penthouse of the very wealthy. It can only be found at sea on an ocean liner. That is what this book is about - High Life - as presented to ordinary folk in the course of a sea cruise. This is not a cookery book but on a long voyage you will find that the cuisine is one of the most striking features and the author has dealt very thoroughly with this particular aspect. You will also learn a great deal about wine and even if you are a teetotaller the temptation to taste and try will be overwhelming. Included in the price of your ticket is unlimited fun in the shape of games, deck sport, dancing, cocktail parties, entertainment, cinema, Bingo, library - and, above all, service which the top hotels can barely match, friendly service to cater for your every wish. This is not only an introduction to high life at sea, but also a guide to enthusiastic amateur cooks on how to translate some of this luxury into their own homes; a guide to simple everyday table wines which will suit a small budget; and some ideas for a party.
